Dave,
Over the years - Robin, myself and a few others who regularly post here – although not being completely taken-in by Mills theory due to promises which are unfulfilled - yet in awe of what he has accomplished on paper (compared to others) and in the Lab – have suggested that the redundant ground-state is the one key concept which makes eventual fusion, or some other nuclear reaction, far more likely to happen statistically. Thus - it is really a matter of relative contribution, and “what happens after the redundancy.” Everything in LENR seems to begin with ground-state redundancy and end in QM tunneling. From: David Roberson Jones, thanks for taking the time to perform the calculation. Even though it is a back of the envelope attempt, I think you have answered the question. Subject to revision, it appears that fusion must be taking place in Rossi's device in order for it to operate for as long as he specifies. Actually I am relieved at this result since I am not convinced that hydrinos are real. Maybe one day I will come to accept them, but my hard head needs a large drill to penetrate. Dave
